My Go-To Dispos [May 2022]

66 Upvotes

I AM NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY OF THESE COMPANIES, THIS IS NOT PAID PROMOTION

This is going to be a comprehensive list of dispensaries/deliveries that I use regularly around the Bay Area. My rule of thumb is if taxes are NOT included, you are not getting the cheapest price. This rule does not apply to the dispensaries listed here that do not include tax.

For context, I am mainly a tree/vape smoker based out of the East Bay.

In-Store

Purple Star (San Francisco)

Includes Tax: No

Selection: Wide

Why I go: B2G1 URSA/Coldfire Carts (~$40 each OTD), insane daily deals, 20% off medical everyday

^As long as you're using a deal or 20% off medical everyday, 90% chance you're getting the best in-store price in the entire Bay Area. Don't go for tree, there are other dispos with better options + I love Green Dragon at the moment. They also offer delivery.

Love Shack by Green Dragon (San Francisco) - Delivery in East Bay with $7 fee

Includes Tax: I'm not sure, their prices seemed to be better in-store than on WeedMaps

Selection: Okay

Why I go: ONLY go for Green Dragon products, their $40 OTD eighths (highest price) is better than brands I've tried like Dubz Garden, CBX, LitHouse, Ball Family Farms. They also offer half-ounce/full-ounce smalls in the $100-200 OTD range.

^IMO best tree in the Bay, West Hollywood-based brand. Probably going to just stick to this for a while.

NUG (San Leandro)

Includes Tax: Yes

Selection: Wide

Why I go: $60 Jetty Solventless OTD, Best in-store prices in the East Bay, NUG Brand vapes/edibles offer extreme value like 2 for $20 OTD chocolate bars or 2 for $80 OTD live resin carts (haven't tried flower), large extract selection

^They don't list all their deals online so call or swing by the store. I haven't check out other locations. They also offer delivery.

Farmacy (Berkeley)

Includes tax: No

Selection: Wide

Why I go: Wide selection with decent deals on bulk upper-mids (Glasshouse Farms, etc.), 15% off medical which used to work out to ~6% off online price after-tax but they might have changed their pricing structure since I last visited

^I don't go here as often

Deliveries (My Fave)

Indika MCC (East Bay & SF)

Includes Tax: Yes, $3 flat delivery fee

Selection: RARE

Why I go: Exotic and rare small-batch flower and extracts from local growers, everything is listed at 20-40% everyday with higher discounts going to different categories that change everyday. If you want stuff you've never tried before, this is the place.

^You're going to want to take advantage of BOGO days which are typically a discounted top-shelf eighth or concentrate for an additional $`10-15. This is also a be-all, end-all dispensary.

Wild West Club (East Bay)

Includes Tax: Yes

Selection: Okay, but all top shelf

Why I go: $40 OTD eighths for brands like CBX, LitHouse, Ball Family Farms, that are usually $60-70 OTD (I don't know how they do it but it's legit), social equity brand, BOGO deals

^Unreal prices, highly recommend and only a $40 minimum (one eighth)

Medithrive (All of the Bay)

Includes Tax: No

Selection: Wide

Why I go: $60 OTD Jetty Solventless delivered, $50 OTD Jetty Solventless Pax Pod .5g, discounted edibles

^These are only limited-time deals, otherwise I'm never using Medithrive because they're overpriced

K&R Delivery (San Jose but delivers to East Bay)

Includes Tax: Yes

Selection: Fair

Why I go: Amazing vapes deals on Stiiizy and URSA, usually in bulk

Some others:

HerbNJoy (East Bay Delivery)

Okay deals but they give free medical recommendations

GoErba (East Bay Delivery)

Good deals on top-shelf brands time to time

High Life City is a scam. Absolutely avoid.

68 Upvotes

I think everyone here needs to know this, if not everyone in the Bay Area. High Life City is a scam operation, pure and simple. The thing is, I'm not sure how many more of these scam operations exist. I feel stupid enough for going with this as long as I did.

Last night, I just wanted to get some infused blunts delivered so my friends and I could enjoy some time together with something we don't normally get our hands on. It was very late, and the only place still doing delivery according to Google was High Life City. I called, asked if they really were still open (around 1AM), and the guy who picked up confirmed they were, but only through delivery which had to be placed on their site. I placed my order and paid through Cashapp, and the person texted me that the order was on its way to our agreed delivery address, in about 20 minutes. 10 minutes go by, and they text me that there is an additional delivery charge. Fair enough. I send the money and they tell me about 10 more minutes. 10 minutes later, they tell me that their policy requires an insurance fee. I'm suspicious since I had never heard of a policy like that, but I still paid it. I'm then told to wait 10 more minutes as the delivery person is on the way. 10 more minutes pass, and I'm told that I need to make another payment for "night safety insurance", which I pay, even while becoming increasingly skeptical. You can see where this is going. This process repeats 3 more times, using various excuses to gouge more money out of me. At some point, the person who I had been talking to stopped responding to my calls. After much longer than I care to admit, I fully cut my losses. Sunken cost fallacy kept me in much longer than it should have I suppose.

My point is, High Life City is a scam. They will never deliver to you. Avoid at all costs. I get that I'm an idiot. Don't be as stupid as me.

Water Pipe Adapter for Rogue or Lobo?

Upvotes

Would love to buy a water pipe adapter for a dry herb vape without having to pay for shipping & handling. Good glass/vape shop recs for East Oakland area? None of these places have much web presence.

Chem Cookies 27% thc Indica pre roll by QK. Got both for free on 4th of July at Cake House SJ.

These are typically $5 and it shows. Mostly trim. It's not straight up stems and leaves. It's more like that last bit that gets trimmed off before the nugs are ready to be put in 3.5s

You think that's how they do it? Like maybe they buy that excess from other companies. Idk but I guess it's worth $5. I probably wouldn't actually buy them but if you only have $5 it's probably close to the best option. However if you have $10 there are much better options. Like a 1.65 El Blunto at Stiizy affiliates. A 1g Humo pre roll is probably around $7 and in between the quality of QK and EB.

Smell is mild. Almost non existent. You can't really notice any major notes. Taste is similar but at least it's not harsh. If you usually smoke a .5 chances are you'll need the entire gram for the same effect. At least I did.

Best in the Bay?

6 Upvotes

What’s the best knock out indica and wake up Sativa in the Bay Area currently? Looking to hear what’s solid right now between flower, carts, and edibles as I haven’t been in the area for a few years.

solid cart brands for flower smokers?

8 Upvotes

I don't really mess with concentrates or vapes that much, but got an upcoming trip and can't take flower with me sadly.

been a while since buying last, dunno what's good out there and what to avoid. not aiming for stupid high thc, just a clean, good quality one that'll do the job without sending me overboard.

Root'd inventory was disappointing the other day, was it just bad timing?

1 Upvotes

Went to my fave spot, Root'd in Oakland. Selection seemed slimmer than before. A bunch of stuff I had my eye on is gone, no restock. I was gonna get one of those big tins of Oakfruitland, but they were out of all, even the 1/8ths.

When I find a place I like, I tend to stick around. I'm not interested in chasing brands & deals across the bay. I bought some stuff I'm happy with that should keep me good for at least a couple weeks, but I'm definitely gonna check the website next time before stepping in.

I love that spot. Is it a seasonal thing I'm not aware of? Are any other dispensaries thin lately? Just curious if I should expand my preferred dispos.

I was a little less picky when I was mostly using carts & would go wherever had my brands. But I like the vibe & sticker system at Root'd now that I'm smoking bud.

LING, Connected and Bosky Pick Ups

Thumbnail

24 Upvotes

Life Is Not Grape - Birria (OG Kush Breath)

Connected - Biscotti

Bosky - Kookieland

The LING is insane. Insane vanilla bean taste that transforms into an extremely funky, spicy, pungent funk on the exhale, completely taking over the initial sweetness. Body high is insane on this, it had me floating. One of the best.

This batch of Biscotti is potent but definitely more Gelato forward than prior batches I’ve had. Good head high.,

The Bosky is older and were on sale but the nugs were pretty sticky all things considered. Haven’t smoked this one yet but there’s a heavy cookies notes on the initial nose.

Connected: Toad Venom

Animal Face x Sin Mints
Package Date: 7/15/2026

Visuals: Deep forest green/dark purple leave/almost black in some spots, dense trichome coating, nice and conical Xmas tree type bud structure

Nose/Cure: Spice with a bit of lime/minty citrus and earthy dank smell, medium loud bit very distinct and citrus/spice pops upon breakdown. Not overly dry with a rebound to squish while staying crisp

Flavor: Bright spicy lime earth/slight dough/sweet backend, inhale and exhale are fairly consistent tastes

Effects: Hard hitting initial rips, settles down into energetic and lifted with moderate activity levels, clear thoughts while being stoned, becomes more sedative after 2-3 additional sessions

Final Thoughts: Overall, this is another really solid jar from Connected that was cured well and now hits hard. Nice high, especially on first smoke of the day. Wish it were slightly louder, but it does have a distinct aroma that’s really unique and complicated. I’ve tried this strain from cam and green dragon and this is my favorite version yet. Grade: B+

My weed-buying goes back to the days of "you know a guy, and if you are lucky he has some weed to sell you." So I never paid too much attention to quality and all that. So when I go to the weed store I usually just look for things that are cheap with a high THC content, and maybe a couple strains from the old days that I remember enjoying (Jack Harrer, Headband, Sour Diesel, Cloud's Rest . . .)

But I see you folks all talking about the 'good' vs 'bad' weed, and I wonder what I'm missing out on by avoiding that pricey weed. Is the high different? The taste? The harshness of the hit? I also see the distinction between hand-trimmed and machine-trimmed a lot, why is hand-trimmed better? Is there one particular bag that you think would help me appreciate the higher-quality stuff?

Thanks.
